          (e) All private roadways, streets, walks and other means of ingress and egress within or abutting said Project shall, for the purposes of Maintenance and Repair, be treated as Association Areas. To insure City, County, public authority or public utility access to maintain and repair services and facilities extended by such City, County, public authority or public utility to the Project, the Association shall keep all of said roadways, streets, walks and other means of ingress and egress in a state of good condition and repair consistent with the standard of quality upon original installation.

          (f) All 36-foot-wide streets within the Condominium Project shall be restricted to parking on one side only. The Association shall be obligated to maintain a proper number of "no parking" signs, the locations, dimensions and form of which shall be approved by the City of Los Angeles, the cost of which shall be borne by the Association as a common expense. The Association, and all Unit Owners, shall maintain the private streets free and clear of obstructions and in a safe condition for vehicular use at all times.

          The Association, acting through the Architectural and Landscaping Committee, shall have the right and obligation to remove all obstructions in private streets, including, but not limited to, vehicles parked in the "no parking" zones, and cause said obstructions, including vehicles, to be stored or impounded at the sole cost and expense of the owner thereof. In the event that the Association for any reasons incurs expense in connection with the foregoing, such expense shall initially be borne by the Association as a common expense, subject to reimbursement by the Unit Owner responsible therefore in accordance with and pursuant to the special assessment provisions of Article 6.2 of this Declaration.

     7.2 - The Unit Owner. The responsibility of the Unit Owner shall be as follows:

(a) To maintain, repair, replace and restore at his expense, all portions of his Residence, subject to control of the Architectural and Landscaping Committee as provided in Article 6 herein.

          (b) Not to paint or otherwise decorate or change the appearance of any portion of the improvements within his Residence except for the interior of his Unit, unless the written consent of the Architectural and Landscaping Committee is first obtained in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 herein.

          (c) Not to make any alterations in the landscaping or landscaping plan within the Residence, including the drainage pattern, slopes, banks and drainage facilities, except as otherwise provided in Article 6 herein.

          (d) Not to erect any improvement within the Residence, unless the written consent of the Architectural and Landscaping Committee is first obtained, except as provided for in Article 6.3 herein.

          (e) To comply with all of the provisions of this Declaration.

 8.  ASSESSMENTS AND MAINTENANCE FUND.

     8.1 - Common Assessments.

          (a) Common Assessments for Common Expenses shall be made by the Board of Directors for each calendar year not less than thirty (30) days prior, nor more than thirty (30) days subsequent, to the beginning of each such calendar year and at such other and additional times as in the judgment of the Board of Directors additional Common Expense assessments are required. Assessments shall commence as of the date of close of escrow of the first sale of a Condominium in the Project.

          (b) The total of each such annual Common Assessment shall be in the amount of the estimated Common Expenses for the year, including a reasonable allowance for contingencies and reserves.

          (c) If the annual Common Assessment is not made as required, a payment in the amount required by the last prior annual Common Assessment shall be due upon each assessment payment date until changed by a new assessment.

          (d) The annual Common Assessment payable by each Unit Owner shall be payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month, or at such other date or times and in such other installments as the Association may determine. Delinquent installments shall bear interest at the maximum rate allowed by law.

          (e) Each Unit Owner, including Declarant as to each unsold Unit, shall pay his proportionate share of the total Common Assessment, commencing on the date of the close of escrow of the first sale of a Condominium in the Project, on the basis of one share for each Unit.

     8.2 - Special Assessments. Special assessments against particular Unit Owners and their respective Condominiums shall be made by the Architectural and Landscaping Committee, as agent for the Association, pursuant to the provisions of Article 6 herein, upon the date when the cost has been incurred by the Association for the corrective work or corrective action and written demand for payment thereof has been sent by mail to the particular Unit Owner. The amount of the Special Assessment shall be due and payable by the Unit Owner to the Association on the said date of Demand, and shall bear interest from the date of demand at the maximum rate allowed by law.

     8.3 - All sums collected by the Association from assessments may be commingled in a single fund, and without the necessity of a specific accounting for each element of Common Expense for which assessment has been made.

     8.4 - Collection of Assessments. All Common and Special Assessments shall be a debt of the Unit Owner at the time the Assessment is made. The amount of any such assessment plus interest and costs, including attorneys' fees (in accordance with Sections 1355 and 1356 of the Civil Code of the State of California) shall be and become a lien upon the Condominium assessed when the Association causes to be recorded with the County Recorder of Los Angeles County a Notice of Assessment which shall state the amount of such assessment, including interest and estimated attorneys' fees (in accordance with the aforementioned Civil Code Sections), a description of the Condominium against which the same has been assessed, and the name of the record owner thereof. Such notice shall, be signed by an authorized representative of the Association. Upon payment of said assessment and charges in connection with which such notice has been so recorded, or the satisfaction thereof, the Association shall cause to be recorded a further notice stating the satisfaction and the release of the lien thereof.

     The assessment lien so provided shall be prior to all other liens recorded subsequent to the recordation of said Notice of Assessment.

     Unless sooner satisfied and released, or the enforcement thereof initiated, such lien shall expire and be of no further force or effect one (1) year from the date of recordation of said Notice of Assessment; provided, however, that said one-year period may be extended by the Association for not to exceed one (1) additional year by recording a written extension thereof.

     The assessment lien above provided may be enforced by sale by the Association, its attorney, or other person authorized to make the sale after failure of the Owner to pay such assessment in accordance with its terms, such sale to be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2924, 2924b and 2924c of the Civil Code of the State of California applicable to the exercise of powers of sale in mortgages and deeds of trust, or in any other manner permitted by law. The Association shall have the power to bid on the Condominium at foreclosure and to hold, lease, mortgage and convey the same.

     8.5 - Assessment Roll. The assessments against all Unit Owners shall be set forth upon a roll of the Units which shall be available in the office of the Association for inspection at all reasonable times by Unit Owners or their duly authorized representatives. Such roll shall indicate for each Unit the name and address of the Owner or Owners, the assessments for all purposes and the amounts of all assessments paid and unpaid. A certificate made by the Association as to the status of a Unit Owner's assessment account shall limit the liability of any person for whom made other than the Unit Owner. The Association shall issue such certificates to such persons as a Unit Owner may request in writing.

     8.6 - Liability for Assessments. The Owner of a Unit and his grantees shall be jointly and severally liable for all unpaid assessments due to payable at the time of a conveyance but without prejudice to the rights of the grantee to recover from the grantor the amounts paid by the grantee therefore. Such liability may not be avoided by a waiver of the use or enjoyment of any Association Area or by abandonment of the Condominium for which the assessments are made. A purchaser of a Condominium at any judicial or trustee sale shall be liable only for assessments coming due after such sale and for that portion of due assessments prorated to the period after the date of such sale.

     Amendments to this Section 8 shall only be effective upon 100% written consent of the Unit Owners and their first mortgagees, whether such amendment is attempted by way of modification of the Association Articles of Incorporation or by-laws.

     9.   INSURANCE

     The insurance, other than title insurance which shall be carried upon the Property, shall be governed by the following provisions:

          9.1 - Authority to Purchase. All insurance policies upon the Property or the operations of the Association (except as hereinafter allowed), shall be purchased by the Association, and the premiums thereon shall be charged as Common Expenses.

To assist in the purchase and administration of such policies of insurance as may be required hereunder or deemed prudent by the Association in the conduct of Association business, the Association may employ the services of an independent insurance analyst, consultant, or broker, the expense of which shall be included in Common Expenses.

          9.2 - Coverage.

          Property Insurance. The Association Areas and all improvements thereon and all personal property included within the Association Areas, except such personal property as may be owned by the Unit Owners, shall be insured so as to provide for full replacement thereof in the event of damage or destruction from the insured perils.

     All such policies shall be issued in the name of the Association.

     Such policies shall provide that losses thereunder shall be adjusted with and payable to the Association for the exclusive account of the Association.

     Such coverage as is required under this subsection shall afford protection against:

          (a) Loss or damage by fire and other hazards covered by the standard extended coverage and vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements;

          (b) such other additional perils of "All Risk" forms as may from time to time become available, presently "Special From" excluding landslide, subsidence and earthquake;

          (c) additional perils shall be at the option of the Association.

          The Association may comply with the above requirements by the purchase of blanket coverage and may elect such deductible, franchise, or franchise deductible provisions which, in the opinion of the Association are consistent with good business practice.

     Insurance proceeds shall not be commingled with other Association funds and shall be used forthwith exclusively for restoration of the damaged or destroyed improvements and/or personal property.

     9.3 - Public Liability and Property Damage. The Association shall purchase broad form Comprehensive Liability coverage in such amounts and in such forms deemed appropriate by it. This coverage shall be issued in the name of the Association and shall include Unit Owners in their capacity as Association members as additional insured’s, and evidence thereof shall be furnished to each additional insured. Coverage under this policy shall include, but not be limited to, legal liability of the Association for bodily and personal injuries, property damages, operations of automobiles on behalf of the Association and operations of the Association in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance or use of the property.

     9.4 - Workmen's Compensation and Employers' Liability.

The Association shall purchase Workmen's Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurances in such form as to meet the requirements of law for injuries to Association employees.

     9.5 - Crime. The Association shall purchase coverage against dishonesty of employees, destruction or disappearance of money or securities and against forgery in amounts and in such forms as shall be required by the Association.

     9.6 - Mechanical Insurance. The Association may purchase coverage insuring against the explosion of steam boilers or pressure vessels and breakdown of machinery in such amounts and in such forms as are deemed appropriate by the Association.

     9.7 - Unit Owner Insurance. Each Unit Owner shall, at his sole expense, obtain and keep in full force and effect standard fire and extended risk insurance coverage on his Residence and the improvements thereon with minimum limits satisfactory to the Association. Each such insurance policy shall contain a loss-payable endorsement in favor of the Association which shall be subordinate in position only to a loss-payable endorsement in favor of an institutional lender holding a first mortgage lien against the residence. The Association shall release its claim to such proceeds in a manner deemed satisfactory by the Architectural and Landscaping Committee in connection with action taken by the Unit Owner to restore the improvements to their prior condition as required by Article 6.2 of this Declaration.

 10. TAXES AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS (OF GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES)

     The assessment of each Condominium for taxes and special assessments by governmental bodies when such taxes and special assessments are not separately taxed or assessed to a Condominium shall be as follows:

     Such unallocated taxes and assessments shall be included in the budget of the Association and shall be paid by the Association. The Association shall assess each Unit Owner on the basis Common Assessments of the Association are allocated.

 11. PROHIBITION AGAINST SEVERING INTEREST IN CONDOMINIUM.

     11.1 - No owner shall be entitled to sever his Unit from his undivided interest in the Common Areas. Neither of such component interests may be severally sold, conveyed, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise dealt with, and any such attempt so to do in violation of this provision shall be void as a severance and of no effect as such. The suspension of this right of severability shall in no event last beyond the period in which the right to partition a project is suspended under Section 752b of the Code of Civil Procedure. It is intended hereby to restrict severability in the manner provided in Subparagraph (g) of Section 1355 of the Civil Code, or as subsequently amended.

     11.2 - Subsequent to the initial sale of a Condominium in the Condominium Project, any conveyance of a Condominium or of a Unit, or any part or portion thereof, by its Unit Owner, shall be presumed to convey the entire Condominium.

 12. COVENANTS RUNNING WITH THE LAND.

     All provisions of this Declaration shall be construed to be covenants running with the land and with every part thereof and interest therein, including, but not limited to, every Unit and the appurtenances thereto; and every Unit Owner and claimant of the Property or any part thereof or interest therein, and his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns shall be bound by all of the provisions of this Declaration.

 13.      AMENDMENT.

     13.1 - Declaration. Amendments to the Declaration shall be proposed and adopted as follows:

          (a) Notice. Notice of the subject matter of the proposed amendment in reasonably detailed form shall be included in the Notice of any meeting at which a proposed amendment is considered.

          (b) Resolution. A resolution adopting a proposed amendment may be proposed by the Unit Owners meeting as member of the Association. Unit Owners not present at the meeting considering such amendment may express their approval in writing or by proxy. Such approval must be by Unit Owners who in the aggregate own not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the units.

          (c) Recording. A copy of each amendment shall be certified by at least two (2) officers of the Association as having been duly adopted and shall be effective when recorded in the public records of Los Angeles County, California. Copies of the same shall be sent to each Unit Owner in the manner elsewhere provided for the giving of notices, but the same shall not constitute a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such amendment.

     13.2 - Association; Articles of Incorporation and by-laws. The Articles of Incorporation and the by-laws of the Association may be amended only in the manner provided by such documents.

     13.3 - Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments to Article 8, Article 7.1(e) and Article 7.1(f) of this Declaration shall not be adopted or effective, nor shall amendments to related enforcement procedures be applicable to said Article 8, Article 7.1(e) and Article 7.1(f) unless unanimous consent of all Unit Owners is obtained.

     13.4 - Until December 31, 1975 no amendments to this Declaration shall alter or modify any provision made for the benefit of Declarant herein, including but not limited to Article 6.1(q) of this Declaration.

 14. COMPLIANCE AND DEFAULT.

     14.1 - Each Unit Owner shall be governed by and shall comply with the terms of the Condominium documents and regulations adopted pursuant thereto and said documents and regulations as they may be amended from time to time. A default shall entitle the Association or other Unit Owners to the following relief:

          (a) Legal Proceedings. Failure to comply with any of the terms of the Condominium Documents and regulations adopted pursuant thereto, shall be grounds for relief which may include, without intending to limit the same to, an action to recover sums due for damages, injunctive relief, foreclosure of lien or any combination thereof, and which relief may be sought by the Association or if appropriate, by an aggrieved Unit Owner.

          (b) All Unit Owners shall be liable for the expense of any maintenance, repair or replacement rendered necessary by his act, neglect or carelessness or by that of any member of his family or his or their guests, employees, agents, or lessees, but only to the extent that such expense is not met by the proceeds of insurance carried by the Association. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be construed so as to modify any Waiver of Insurance companies of rights of subrogation.

          (c) Costs and Attorneys' Fees. In any proceedings arising because of an alleged default by a Unit Owner, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover the costs of the proceedings and such reasonable attorneys' fees as may be determined by the Court.

          (d) No Waiver of Rights. The failure of the Association or of a Unit Owner to enforce any right, provisions, covenant or condition which may be granted by the Condominium documents shall not constitute a waiver of the right of the Association or Unit Owner to enforce such right, provision, covenant or condition in the future.

          (e) All rights, remedies and privileges granted to the Declarant, Association or a Unit Owner pursuant to any terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of the Condominium documents shall be deemed to be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more shall not be deemed to constitute an election of remedies nor shall it preclude the party thus exercising the same from exercising such other and additional rights, remedies or privileges as may be granted to such party by the Condominium documents or at law or in equity.

     14.2 - Each and every provision of the Declaration made and being in favor of Declarant,whether expressly or impliedly so, may be enforced by Declarant by the use of any available proceeding or remedy at law or in equity.

     Upon determination by the City of Los Angeles Planning Commission, or any successor thereto, that the Condominium Project is not in a first-class condition as above required, then in such event, any Unit Owner in the Condominium Project may institute an action for termination of the project in a Court of competent jurisdiction.

     15.3 - After the termination of the Project as provided by law, the then Unit Owners so affected shall own the Property as tenants in common in undivided shares, and the holders of mortgages and liens against the Unit or Units formerly owned by such Unit Owners shall have mortgages and liens upon the respective undivided shares of the Unit Owners. All funds held by the Association and insurance proceeds, if any, shall be and continue to be held for the Unit Owners in proportion to the amount of the assessments paid by each. The costs incurred by the Association in connection with the termination shall be a Common Expense.

     15.4 - The members of the Board of Directors acting collectively as agents for all Unit Owners, shall, for purposes of winding up the affairs of the Association, continue to have such powers as in this Article are granted, notwithstanding the fact that the Association itself may be dissolved upon a termination.

Declarant also reserves the right during said period to deter-mine, by amendment to the Condominium Plan or otherwise, the exact number of Condominium Estates in the Condominium Project.

17. SEVERABILITY.

 

17.1 - The provisions hereof shall be deemed independent and severable, and the invalidity or partial invalidity or un-enforceable ability of any one provision or portion thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions hereof.

18.  INTERPRETATION.

     18.1 - The provisions of this Declaration shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purpose of creating a uniform plan for the development and operation of the Project. Failure to enforce any provision hereof shall not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce said provision or any other provision hereof.

     18.2 - Any Unit Owner, not at the time in default hereunder, or any member of the Association who shall be deemed to be acting on behalf of any of the Unit Owners, shall be entitled to bring an action for damages against any defaulting Unit Owner and, in addition, may enjoin any violation of this Declaration, or a rule or regulation duly adopted by the Association hereunder, or to prosecute any other appropriate legal or equitable action that may be necessary under the existing facts. Any judgment rendered in any such action or proceeding shall include a sum for attorneys' fees in such amount as the court may adjudge reason-able, in favor of the prevailing party.

     18.3 - It is expressly agreed that a breach of any of the provisions, covenants, restrictions, or limitations, or the recordation of any lien or assessment hereunder or the pursuit of any remedy hereunder shall not defeat or render invalid the lien of any mortgage made by the Unit Owner in good faith and for value upon the interest, right or title or a portion and percent-age of interest of any Unit Owner, grantee, or grantees in said Property, but all are hereby declared to be subject and subordinate to each such mortgage. However, each and all of said provisions, conditions, covenants and restrictions and limitations shall be binding upon and effective against any Owner whose title to said Property is thereafter acquired through foreclosure or trustee sale or continues under such mortgage.

 19. APPURTENANT AREA WALLS.

     The rights and duties of the owners with respect to Appurtenant Area Walls shall be governed by the following:

     19.2 - Repair and Maintenance. If the exterior of any such wall is damaged or destroyed through the negligent or willful act of the adjoining owner or of his agent, employee, guest or member of his family, so as to deprive the wall owner of the full use and enjoyment of such wall, then the adjoining owner shall forthwith proceed to rebuild and/or repair the same to as good a condition as formerly, without cost to the wall owner. However, normal repainting and repair not caused by any act of the adjoining lot owner but caused by normal deterioration from lapse of time shall be the responsibility of the wall owner at the cost to such wall owner. Each adjoining owner is specifically prohibited from watering in any manner, which may result in the water soaking of or water damage to the adjacent wall.

     19.3 - Destruction by Fire or Other Casualty. If any such wall is damaged or destroyed by fire or casualty or by some cause other than the act of the adjoining owner, then, in such event, the wall owner, at his expense, shall proceed forthwith to rebuild or repair the same to as good a condition as formerly.

     19.4 - Easement for Encroachment. There is hereby created for the benefit of each wall owner a non-exclusive easement over, across and through the adjoining Appurtenant Area for the encroachment of any eaves, overhangs or projections of any roof on or over the adjoining Appurtenant Area.

     19.5 - Dispute. In the event of a dispute between a wall owner and the adjoining owner, upon written request of one of such owners addressed to the Association, the dispute shall be submitted to the Board which shall decide the dispute, and the decision of the Board shall be final and conclusive upon the parties.

 20. PARTY FENCES.

     20.1 - General Rules of Law to Apply. Each fence, which is built between the Appurtenant Areas shall constitute a party fence, and to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article, the general rules of law regarding party fences and liability for property damage due to the negligence or willful acts or omissions shall apply thereto. There shall be no changes or impairments of, or permanent structural attachments made to, any such fence unless expressly made in conformity with the pro-visions of this Article and consented to by all persons having an interest in said party fence. There shall be an easement for reasonable repairs over the areas immediately adjacent to each side of all such fences for the benefit of all persons having an interest therein; provided, however, that such easement shall allow entry only at reasonable times and shall in no event be deemed to permit entry into the interior portion of any residence. And damage resulting from the use of the easement shall be repaired at the expense of the owner causing the same.

     20.2 - Sharing of Repair and Maintenance. The cost of reasonable repairs and maintenance of a party fence shall be shared by the owners who make use of the fence in proportion to such use.

     20.3 - Destruction by Fire or Other Casualty. If a party fence is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, any owner who has used the fence may restore it, and if the other owners thereof make use of the fence, they shall contribute to the cost of the restoration thereof in proportion to such use without prejudice, however, to the rights of any such owners to call for a larger contribution from the others under any rules of law regarding the liability for negligent or willful acts or omissions.

     20.4 - Right to Contributions Runs with the Land. The right of any owner to contribution from any other owner under this Article shall be appurtenant to the land and shall pass to such owner's successor in title.

     20.5 - Arbitration. In the event any dispute arises concerning a party fence, under the provisions of this article the dispute shall be resolved by an arbitrator chosen by the Board with, any interested board member barred from the vote.

AMENDMENT TO CC&Rs

AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE 6, SECTION 6.1 OF THE CC&Rs

 

 

            Article 6, Section 6.1 of the CC&Rs is amended so as to add a subsection (t) which states as follows:

 

Leases.  Any agreement for the leasing or rental of a Unit (hereinafter in this Section referred to as a “lease”) shall provide that the terms of such lease shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Declaration, the Articles, the By-laws and the Association Rules and shall contain the “Lease Rider” set forth below.  Each lease shall further provide that any failure by the lessee thereunder to comply with the terms of the forgoing documents shall be a default under the lease.  All leases shall be in writing and shall be for a period of not less than three (3) months.  No Unit Owner (the “Owner”) may lease less than his entire Unit.  Any Owner who shall lease his Unit shall be responsible for personally assuring compliance by such Owner’s lessee with this Declaration, the Articles, the By-laws and the Association Rules.  An Owner shall be personally liable for the acts and conduct of his lessee and may be fined a reasonable amount for any non-compliance by his lessee.  Failure by an Owner to take legal action, including the institution of proceedings in unlawful detainer against his lessee who is in violation of this Declaration, the Articles, the By-laws or the Association Rules within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand so to do from the Board, shall entitle the Association, through the Board, to take any and all such action, including the institution of proceedings in unlawful detainer on behalf of such Owner against his lessee.  Any expenses incurred by the Association, including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, shall be repaid to it by such Owner.  Failure of such Owner to make such repayment within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written demand therefore shall entitle the Board to levy a Special Assessment against such Owner and his Unit for all such expenses incurred by the Association.  In the event such Special Assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days of its due date, the Board may resort to all remedies of the Association for the collection thereof, including those set forth in Article 6 hereof dealing with liens.  No Unit shall be leased for transient or hotel purposes, which shall be defined as rental for any period of less than three (3) months or any rental whatsoever if the occupants of the Unit are provided with customary hotel services such as room service for food and beverages, maid service the furnishing of laundry and linen and/or bellboy service.”

 

                        All leases shall contain the following Lease Rider in them:

 

                                                “Tenant acknowledges that he/she has read the Declaration of

                                    Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions, By-laws and Rules and

Regulations of the Beverly Glen Park Homeowners Association (the

                                    ‘Association’) and all amendments thereto (collectively the ‘Association

                                    Documents’).  Tenant agrees that the provisions of said documents are

                                    hereby incorporated into this Lease Agreement as if fully set forth herein

 

 

 

 

                                    and tenant agrees further to comply strictly with said CC&Rs, By-laws

                                    and Rules and Regulations, as heretofore and hereafter amended.

 

                                                The Board of Directors of the Association (the “Board”) shall

have the power to terminate the Lease and/or to bring summary proceedings to evict the tenant(s) in the name of the Landlord here-

                                    under  in the event of any default by the Tenant in compliance with

                                    the Association Documents, or any of them, the Association Documents

            `                       shall prevail.”

 

            All other terms and conditions of the CC&Rs, as amended, shall remain in full force and effect.

 

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have signed this document the 18th day of September, 1998.
